Galindo.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eCentral themes in Dalton Trevisan's work, violence and sex, gain even more relevance in the short stories of \u003cem\u003e\"Macho não ganha flor\u003c\/em\u003e ,\" first published in 2006. Renowned in the 1960s for his keen eye on reality, the Curitiba-born writer transposes the dramas of violent, oppressed, poor, and unsuccessful people into the 21st century. The \"Joões\" and \"Marias\" of yesteryear are now using crack, the thugs have adapted to new scams, and the shrill violence has surpassed all limits—the book is set in a time when nothing seems to constrain victims and perpetrators anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e These stories make even the most oblivious reader blush. Characters shrouded in the mists of anonymity are brought to the forefront here. Flirting with the police narrative, Trevisan gives prominence to his antiheroes, who narrate in the first person the misfortunes experienced in big cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\"Living in Vila, man, is very dangerous,\" one of the narrators summarizes. In these stories, it's as if Dalton's famous phrase resonates constantly: \"On every corner of Curitiba, a Raskolnikov greets you, his hand on the hatchet under his jacket.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In 22 short stories, \u003cem\u003eMacho não ganha flor (Macho doesn't win flowers)\u003c\/em\u003e shows an author—already in his octogenarian years—in full command of his craft and attentive to the movements of the society around him. A fiction writer who never lets go of his chronicler's gaze, he presents readers with a true modern classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\" \u003cem\u003eMacho não ganha flor\"\u003c\/em\u003e (2006) marks a turning point in the writer's career. The short stories return to a clearly narrative model and, along with \u003cem\u003e\"O maniaco do olho verde\"\u003c\/em\u003e (2008) and \u003cem\u003e\"Violets and Peacocks\u003c\/em\u003e \" (2009), form a remarkable novelistic trilogy. The gallery of new characters moves and traffics, in and out, from life to books. [...] Dalton captures the raw material of the fact in the exposed wire of the flagrant. The sentences are brief. They reveal an intense electric discharge. A short circuit between realism and invention. It seems like something a person \u003cem\u003ewould do\u003c\/em\u003e . How can they let a guy like that loose?\" - Augusto Massi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\"\u003c\/strong\u003e A new book, in which his cruel sense of humor rejoices with the most youthful verve about an ugly, hollow, and dirty world that is mine and yours every day. But which, above all, is our familiar world of Mr. Trevisan. [...] Read the first (very short) story and tell me if anyone out there has more strength in literature.\" – Caetano W.
